Error Message

%SNMP-SNMP-3-ERR_SYSDB_BIND Failed to bind to SysDB for MIB notifications: [chars]

Explanation SNMP binds to SysDB to receive notifications on the MIB's behalf. MIBs typically use these notifications as triggers to send out SNMP notifications (e.g. Traps). If SNMP cannot bind to SysDB, these SysDB notifications will not be received, and thus some SNMP notifications may never be generated.

Recommended Action Check 'show context' command to see if any crash happened and sysdb is in a blocked state. Collect 'show process blocked' and 'run attach_process -p ' output. Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message

%SNMP-SNMP-3-ERR_SYSDB_GET Unable to [chars]

Explanation When a show snmp CLI is executed, SNMP agent displays this message when it is not able to retrieve the information. This is likely due to an internal software error.

Recommended Action Check 'show context' command to see if any crash happened . If there is a crash, you may need to collect 'show process blocked' and 'run attach_process -p ' output. Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message

Error Message

%SNMP-SNMP-3-INTERNAL [chars]:[chars]

Explanation General internal failure. This is likely an internal software error.

Recommended Action If there is a crash/deadlock, you may need to collect logs from 'show process blocked' and 'run attach_process -p ' Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message

%SNMP-SNMP-3-INTERNAL_TUPLE_ERROR [chars] [chars] [chars] : [chars]

Explanation This is an internal software error. Tuple-Type: The retrieved datatype for the given SysDB tuple does not match the expected datatype. Bad-host: Received a tuple for the snmp-server host CLI command, but could not parse it. Unpack: Failed to decode/unpack the retrieved SysDB tuple value.

Recommended Action Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Explanation Error in opening cfg directory : The MIB configuration files should be located in the directory '/ios/mib'. This directory could not be read, for some reason. General Error: A syntax error was encountered while parsing the given MIB configuration file. The MIB referred to by this configuration file will not be loaded. Failed to read MIB Cfg file: This could be due to a low memory condition. Missing config entries: One or more required entries are missing from the given MIB configuration file. The MIB referred to by this configuration file will not be loaded.

Recommended Action Error in opening cfg directory : Ensure that the '/ios/mib' directory exists and contains one or more files with a '.mib' suffix. Failed to read MIB Cfg file: Ensure that the specified configuration file does exist on the system Missing config entries or General Error: Also provide the contents of the given configuration file. Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Explanation Every trapstring supported by the 'snmp host' command corresponds to one or more notification OIDs. Each of these notifications will have zero or more varbinds that are carried as payload - each MIB tells snmpd about these varbinds so that a 'notification view' can be built for them. An extra varbind - sysObjectID - is required to be sent with all v2c notifications. This message indicates that an attempt to register this varbind failed. Sending v2c notifications for the trapstring specified in the error message may fail. You can workaround this by not specifying any trapstring in the 'snmp host' configuration - this will enable all notifications for that destination.

Recommended Action Reduce other system activity to ease memory demands. If conditions warrant, upgrade to a larger memory configuration. *RECUR*

Error Message

%SNMP-SNMP-3-TARGETNONE Cannot find notification target [chars]

Explanation A configuration command refers to an SNMP target that has not yet been configured.

Recommended Action You must configure an SNMP target before you can refer to it. Examine your configuration. Ensure that the given target has been configured. If it has not, configure it. Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log. Issue the config command to gather data that may provide information to determine the nature of the error. If you cannot determine the nature of the error from the error message text or from the config output, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message

Explanation Failed to communicate with the SNMP transport process. This could be due to a low memory condition, or the fact that there is no SNMP transport process running.

Recommended Action Check the running processes to ensure that an appropriate SNMP transport process is running. Reduce other system activity to ease memory demands. If conditions warrant, upgrade to a larger memory configuration.

Error Message

%SNMP-SNMP-3-TRAPSEND Failed to send trap to [chars]

Explanation A trap destined for the given address could not be sent. This could be due to a low memory condition. It also might be due to the fact that there is no SNMP transport process running for that transport protocol (e.g. udp_snmpd for SNMP over UDP).

Recommended Action Check the running processes to ensure that an appropriate SNMP transport process is running. Reduce other system activity to ease memory demands. If conditions warrant, upgrade to a larger memory configuration.

Error Message

%SNMP-SNMP-3-TUPLEVALUE Failed to retrieve tuple [chars]%s: [chars]

Recommended Action Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Explanation The snmp-server enable traps command allowed the user to set the specified traptype, but no callback function was registered to handle the command. This should have no detrimental effect on the system, but the user will not be able to enable/disable the specified trap.

Recommended Action Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Explanation The given MIB attempted to register a second handler for the same traptype in the 'snmp enable traps ' command. This should have no detrimental effect on the behavior of the system.

Recommended Action Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Recommended Action Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message

%SNMP-SNMP-4-VIEWOID_NOT_FOUND The command [chars] could not be applied at this time because the oid [chars] does not belong to a known MIB module.

Explanation The snmpd process attempted to load the view OID, but the OID did not correspond to any known MIB module.

Recommended Action It could be that either - 1. the OID is of the format 'foobar.1', but the MIB module containing the OID 'foobar' is not yet loaded on the router. If this is the case, when the MIB is loaded, this command will be automatically applied - there is no need to re-enter it. 2. The MIB module containing the OID 'foobar' is indeed loaded, but the MIB did not load a translation from 'foobar' to '1.3.6.1.x.y.z' (i.e. there is no translation from the oid-name to the dotted decimal representation for that name). In this case, you can enter the dotted decimal version instead of the name, i.e. 'snmp-server view 1.3.6.1.x.y.z included' - note that using the dotted decimal version of the name will ALWAYS succeed without a warning message - it is upto the user to make sure the OID entered is valid. 3. The OID 'foobar.1' contains a typo - please re-enter the command with the correct OID and it should succeed. If the above steps result in repeated warning messages or failure, please contact your customer support representative wit the error message.

Explanation Failed to register the bags with SysDB. The access to SNMP statistics and MIB items in /oper/snmp/info through 'sysdbcon' might not be available. This is likely due to an internal software error.
